"I am rather inarticulate, which is why visual expression allows me to make some sense of the world seen and unseen. The paintings I make are often abstract(ed) visually or metaphysically. They dance, jump out and laugh. Or weep and punch. They are my performers. I am working towards activating objects as well as I activate the paintings, and people."
